#' Change in carapace size of female dungeness crabs after molting. 
#'
#' Data collected from a study of the change in the carapace size of female dungeness crabs (\emph{Metacarcinus magister}) before and after molting. Crabs were either captured prior to molting and then allowed to molt in captivitiy, or were re-captured after being measured and tagged. See Nolan and Speed (2009) and Hankin et al. (1989) for details.
